Hi guys:
I like to visit and photograph famous hotels' lobbies.
It's pretty easy in Italy but I'm wondering about Paris. I'll be wearing jeans.
So, any experiences to share?
Thanks.

With or without the hotel's permission.

35 years ago I walked into the lobby of the Ritz wearing bluejeans and a bomber jacket. Nobody said anything then, I suspect they'd care even less these days when the ultra rich dress down as a matter of course.

Thanks.
I agree, they probably care/judge less than before.

P.S. @ Threadwear
I was hoping without permission.
We had an unspoken rule at school: if you can't take No for an answer, don't ask ;-)

You could always proceed to the lounge for a champagne :)

In Sicily in a similar situation I asked and got the answer "Why did you ask? Now I have to say no."

That is SO Italian!
In my hotel room in Pisa there was an ashtray.
Placed inside it was a small sign saying "Please do not smoke."
